Russian astrologer sues NASA

20:44 28/07/2005
MOSCOW, July 28 (RIA Novosti) - The Moscow Regional Court has postponed a hearing on the lawsuit filed by Russian astrologer Marina Bay against NASA for psychological damages caused by a NASA probe slamming into the Tempel-1 comet, a Presnensky Court spokesman said.

"The hearing has been postponed again due to the absence of representation from NASA."

The astrologer had previously filed an appeal to forbid the "slamming" of the comet, but when on July 4 (U.S. Independence Day) the collision was nevertheless carried out (using the probe "Deep Impact"), the appeal was changed.

"The astrologer Marina Bay believes that NASA's actions interfere with the spiritual and life values system, as well as with the elemental life of the cosmos, thus upsetting the balance of forces in the universe," the lawsuit states.

The astrologer is asking for damages in the amount of 8.7 billion rubles ($303 million).

The spokesman did not say whether legal documents had been sent to the defendant or whether NASA even knows of the lawsuit.
